What the response of the Californian to the sight of the rockets being fired from the sinking liner why?
The Californian's crew, upon seeing the rockets fired from the sinking Titanic, initially mistook them for a signal to alert nearby vessels or a distress signal. However, they did not respond promptly, as their wireless operator was off duty, and they had already decided to remain at anchor due to ice warnings. The lack of immediate action was compounded by the misinterpretation of the situation, ultimately leading to a tragic delay in rescue efforts.

What ship didn't respond to the Titanic?
Most vessels within range of her powerful wireless did receive it, but were unable to make it to the scene in time before she went down. The one vessel that did not receive the SOS signsl was the small British liner Californian, the reasons for this being that she was stuck in pack ice and also the wireless operator was not on duty to hear her distress calls. The Californian was only 10 miles distant from Titanic and the Board of Enquiry after the disaster heavily criticised her captain for not having taken adequate measures to respond to any nearby vessels that were in distress.

There's not much to like. One of the officers watching from the deck of the Californian even remarked that Titanic looked "queer", referring to her lights not being parallel with the waterline.

Did they really set off fireworks off of the real titanic when it was sinking?
Yes. Fourth Officer Joseph G. Boxhall and Quartermaster Alfred Rowe were ordered by Smith to fire distress rockets. These were rockets which burst in a white cluster high enough above the ship to be seen from at least 10-15 miles away or more under favorable conditions. Between 12:45 AM and about 1:45 AM on April 15, 1912, 8 rockets were fired from the sinking Titanic. The only ship that was definitely close enough to see them was the Leyland steamer Californian, whose master, Stanley Lord, inexplicably failed to wake his wireless operator to see if a vessel was in distress. Californian's officers on watch saw all 8 being fired and were only ordered by Lord to try to contact the ship via Morse lamp.
